This place was so cute and perfectly appointed, but most importantly Christian and Audri were the best hosts ever! They helped arrange transportation to wine country, art tours in Valpo, gave us details on how to best visit the sand dunes and made reservations at several amazing restaurants.

An oasis in the city close to everything I wanted to experience. The room was comfortable and quiet with a great shower, breakfast was delicious, and the owners were so helpful, friendly, and accommodating. They helped me arrange transportation and a winery tour and answered all of my questions about the area. I felt safer and confident traveling by myself and had a magical, relaxing stay. Couldn't imagine staying anywhere else.

We really enjoyed staying at Escencia hotel. Christian and his wife were so friendly and made us feel very comfortable staying. The room was very clean, new and beautiful. The garden was also the highlight of this hotel. It makes us feel relaxed and calm. Another this is that even though this facility is near the beach, it was unbelievably quiet so we were able to sleep well. Breakfast was also good. We were able to choose what we wanted from the menu. It was served neatly and was delicious. We highly recommend this hotel. We highly recommend this hotel.

Beautiful place to stay.

What an absolute gem of an hotel. It’s set down a quiet street but very close to nice bars, cafes and restaurants. Hosts are very warm and welcoming. The room we stayed in was beautifully decorated. The whole place feels more like a home than an hotel. The little seating areas outside are a delight. We did have a slight issue with a lack of hot water the morning we were leaving. However, we didn’t have time to mention it, so I can’t complain that it wasn’t sorted. On the whole I’d thoroughly recommend staying here. Lovely.
